[Video] Need some help, with hoses

So I made a short video trying to figure out what these hoses do and goto, if you guys could tell me that would be awesome! these one on the upper left, one by the right battery and one just hanging where the air conditioner thing should be. Also read the youtube description

lol dont feel like an idiot but those hoses are just to your ac pump the one thats kinked its not a bad thing, if your ac pump is missing i would just remove them hoses the big round thing that is next to the hose is basically your coolant holder for you ac unit. its what keeps the refigerant or at least the majority of it so its not something to worry bout either. unless you want ac if you do then keep the hoses and stuff just find you a new pump

The mystery hoses are your A/C lines. The mystery can is your A/C dryer. Its purpose is to absorb any water that may be present in the system. The black line that is kinked is the line going from your condenser (big radiator in front of the coolant radiator) to your evaporator (radiator that gets cold when A/C is on). The evaporator lives inside that black box mounted on the firewall. The kinked line also has a spring lock connector and an orifice tube where it connects to the evaporator. The lines on the driver's side are also A/C lines. The big one connects to the compressor and there is a line missing that connects the condenser to the compressor.

The main question is: are you going to get the A/C working? If so, I can help with that. If not, remove the extra parts.
